MoniPlex速 ceramic and metallic coatings are applied as a liquid slurry which naturally flows over the surface of almost any shape, including internal diameters as small as 0.5 mm. They are totally dense, pore free and the coating exhibits a spinel-like bond layer with the component surface.

MoniPlex速 coatings can be applied to a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous materials, including carbon steels; nickel based alloys, titanium alloys, aluminium and its alloys and copper alloys.

MoniPlex速 has a proven track record in oil, steel, textile and engineering applications. The inorganic coatings can be super-finished and exhibit a hardness of between 1800 and 2900 Vickers, offering superb resistance to wear, corrosion, high temperature oxidation and a variety of other attributes extending the life of equipment and components operating in the extreme environments.

The coatings are characterised by their very high hardness, high adhesive strength, low coefficient of friction and are virtually pore free. Moniplex coatings excel where mechanical parts require outstanding wear and corrosion resistance.

As part of the Messer Castolin Eutectic group of companies, our reach goes far beyond our own shores, with facilities in Europe, Singapore, Dubai, the USA, Mexico and Russia.

MoniPlex® Vapour Deposition (CVD) techniques, where difficult geometries and small internal diameters are difficult or not possible to coat. Slurry coatings are applied using similar techniques to the application of paint, as such, there are no “line of sight” problems that might be experienced with other coating application techniques.

The slurry coatings are functional engineering coatings with a unique set of characteristics, which provide resistance to aggressive and hostile operating environments including situations where adverse temperature, corrosive substances and excessive wear, either from contact with mating parts or surfaces or from particle bombardment, prevail.

Typical Applications:

Deposition techniques include pressure spraying for most external surfaces, dipping for complex shapes and draining for internal surfaces such as cylinder liners. The thickness of the deposited slurry can be controlled within the range of 1-250 µm depending upon the geometry and application criteria. Once the deposition of the slurry is complete, the component is heated to a temperature at which the thermo-chemical reaction takes place.

At this stage the coating is prepared for final conversion, which produces a totally dense, pore free coating that incorporates a spinel-like bond layer between the coating and the component.

The as-coated surface texture is very smooth, typically 1.5 to 0.5 µm Ra and is often used in this condition. When finishing is necessary for dimensional or surface texture considerations, the coating can be ground, honed or lapped in a similar manner to other ceramics.

MoniPlex® coatings are particularly suitable for applications in corrosive environments. The totally dense pore free structure of a MoniPlex® coating provides an excellent corrosion barrier and the coating itself is inert to most forms of chemical attack. This differs from flame sprayed ceramics which can contain micro cracks and are inherently porous due to the thermal strain created by hot particles cooling quickly on impact with the relatively cool substrate.

Frictional characteristics also influence the wear resistance of a coating. The naturally low friction characteristics of MoniPlex® coatings contribute significa

ntly to their superior wear performance over other materials: -

MoniPlex® has excellent wear and solid particle erosion resistance characteristics.

The average adhesive dry rubbing wear factor is 10-15 M3/Nm, as determined from a pin-on-plate sliding test using a polished hardened steel pin rubbing against the treated plate surface at a loading of 10 Nm-2. The average high stress abrasive wear factor is comparable to carburised steel at 4000 (no units) and the average erosive wear factor indicated by 1,000 parts per million of silica in water with an impact velocity of 25 ms-1 is 1500 (no units), which in turn is comparable to a PVD coating of titanium nitride.

abrasive long lasting surfaces can be created. Abrasive materials such as silicon carbide, boron nitride or diamond can be chemically bonded into the coating matrix or they can be pressed into the wet surface of the slurry coating to create abrasive tip coatings for Turbine Blades and Seals.

Frictional characteristics also influence the wear resistance of a coating. The naturally low friction characteristics of MoniPlex® coatings contribute significantly to their superior wear performance over other materials: -

HVOF WC-Co-Cr after 200 hours salt spray corrosion testing

Corrosion Resistance Under normal ASTM B117-73 standard salt spray conditions, chrome plated mild steel samples show 50% of the surface area corroded after 6-8 hours, whereas MoniPlex® impregnated hard chrome plate exhibits very little surface attack after 48 hours of testing. A MoniPlex® coating applied to an EN40B substrate showed no evidence of corrosive attack after 1800 hours in the same test.

MoniPlex® thermo-chemically-formed ceramic coatings can be modified to satisfy specific application criteria. For instance, the normal objective is to produce smooth, hard, low friction surfaces, but if larger angular shaped abrasive particles are introduced, highly
